Okay, so yeah. I made my own ship using bits from Sunday Punch and Liquid Warp packs. The first few times, I tried to get as far away as possible on the Narsal engines, then flip around and go back if I could, but I kept screwing up and just ended up flying away from Kerbin backwards at a slower speed than before. On the third try though, I accidentally lost control of the ship, and never quite reached escape velocity. The eventual result of this? My pod was put in a high altitude orbit around the planet. I don't know how many times I've gone around, since I fell asleep, but I do know that Bill, Bob, and Jeb have been up in the air for five and a half hours now, just circling. Currently, they're on an upswing in Altitude (Still rising over 367000m) But I'm sure they will descend again, only to sling shot over the horizon again and just go higher. EDIT: Eight hours. EIGHT HOURS. I'm aborting the mission now, those boys are lost and I am getting bored.

Thanks again!

I hate to sound like the newbie that I am to computer programs and such, but I've downloaded the calculator, where do I put it? EDIT: Spelling.

Well, clearly most of you are in another league, but I felt like saying anyway. Using Zefram Cochrane's Phoenix IX, I escaped the Kerbin's atmosphere and I'm still going past the thirty-seven minute mark, at a very slowly-but-steadily decreasing velocity of 3894m/s. I figured since it's decreasing, eventually the shuttle will fall back to Kerbin, so I'm just going to let it continue until it does, and then try and make my own ship to match it. EDIT: Right, been going for over an hour now, speed seems to have leveled off at 3832.5m/s, so, I'm going to abort and try to match it. Cochrane can really make a ship, huh?

Thanks, Foamy.

Call me new ('cuz I am), but how do I get the file from this build? :-\ EDIT: Or does that paperclip not mean what I think it means?
